Gu Yuan was exceptionally gentle with her today, and Fu Hange didn't feel much pain at all. She hugged him, lost in thought.

From the moment they first met until now, they haven't actually known each other for very long, less than a year, but they have countless memories. She recalled all the little disagreements, funny incidents, and touching moments that brought tears to her eyes.

She used to say that Gu Yuan was great just because he had some money, but now that he was facing having nothing, she still didn't want him to become so pathetic.

Because the person she loves is someone high above her, someone she can look up to.

Even if she is in the deepest abyss, she still needs the people she loves to live a life full of brilliance.

When the emotions reached their peak, Fu Hange could clearly hear Gu Yuan's gentle voice in her ear: "Why have you suddenly become so proactive?"

She hugged him even tighter, without saying a word, her eyes already brimming with tears.

If only these were true words of love, but she knew he was just joking.

They were entwined all night long, with darkness outside the window and an ambiguous atmosphere inside.

When Fu Hange woke up, she quietly took a pill as usual; precautions still needed to be taken.

She just felt that the medicine was strange today, but she didn't pay much attention and took it without thinking.

Gu Yuan had already stood up, and Fu Hange said gently, "You're awake?"

Gu Yuan responded indifferently.

This was the first time she had spoken to him so gently in all the time they had been together, and it might be the last, because there were too many uncertainties about the future, and neither of them could guarantee anything.

Before long, Gu Yuan finished tidying up. He walked up to Fu Hange while tying his tie and said, "Wait for me to come back."

"Okay," she replied casually.

Perhaps no one wanted to ruin this hard-won tenderness, so they spoke in a calm tone, neither too loud nor too soft.

After Gu Yuan left, Fu Hange finally waited until a suitable time to call Fu Chengyi and tell him where to meet.

Half an hour later, Fu Cheng took Fu Hange to the beach.

After getting off the bus, Fu Hange walked alone towards the reef and then sat down.

Fu Chengyi followed closely behind her, asking, "Why are you just sitting here and not playing?"

The wind blew up Fu Hange's bangs, and she squinted as she said, "There's nothing fun about it, it just makes sitting more comfortable."

Fu Cheng nodded and found a seat next to her. "Am I forcing you to do this?"

"It wasn't forced; it was my own choice. I was being foolish, knowing he didn't love me, yet still doing it."

"Don't talk about yourself like that."

The smell of the sea wafted over, and as the waves rolled in, Fu Hange's voice was completely drowned out, "I originally wanted to end things with him like this, but when I saw him in trouble, I couldn't bear to abandon him. Don't you think I'm stupid?"

Fu Chengyi gazed into the distance, raised an eyebrow, and said, "All foolishness stems from love."

If you don't love someone, why are you so persistent about their affairs, and why are you willing to fight for them?

All the concern stems from nothing more than obsession.

Perhaps she was tired of sitting, Fu Hange got off and walked along the coastline. Her heels were cold from stepping on the seawater, and her white shirt blended almost perfectly with the sea.

From this angle, the sea appears to be parallel to the sky, and the sky at this angle almost seems to crash down on the sea, enveloping the entire surface.
